Summary:
The 51245 zip code is home to a single elementary school, South O'Brien Elementary School Primghar Center, which serves grades PK-6 and is part of the South O'Brien Community School District. This school appears to be a strong performer, with students generally scoring above the state average on standardized tests, particularly in 3rd, 5th, and 6th grades.
However, the school does face some challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.6%, which is significantly higher than the state's target of 10%. Additionally, 4th-grade students struggled more in math, with only 50% proficient or better, indicating an area for potential improvement. The school also serves a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with nearly 40% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite these challenges, South O'Brien Elementary School Primghar Center appears to have adequate resources and staffing, with a relatively high spending per student of $13,661 and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.9 to 1. Overall, the school is providing a quality education to its students, but may need to focus on addressing chronic absenteeism and supporting students in 4th-grade math to ensure continued academic success.
